Event tourism has been one of the things that caused the renaissance of tourism to the Palm Springs area. The first huge, and world-famous, event was the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The promoters of "Coachella" followed it up a few years later with a Country Music Festival, using the same venue, called Stagecoach. I've attended Stagecoach for the last three years in a row and now will have to attend next year's event due to the following announcement:

Garth Brooks will headline the 2018 edition of Stagecoach, according to sources. It marks the first time the country music superstar has played a dedicated music festival.

Stagecoach, the premier country music festival, will be held April 27-29, 2018 at Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California. Last year’s headliners were Dierks Bentley, Shania Twain and Kenny Chesney. It is unknown which night Brooks will play.

Stagecoach usually announces its line-up in early September.

Brooks, the reigning CMA Awards Entertainer of the Year, is wrapping up a three-year tour at the end of this year. The arena outing has sold more than 5.1 million tickets.

While Stagecoach will be Brooks’ first traditional festival appearance, he delivered the keynote at this year’s SXSW Music Festival and played a free concert, presented by Amazon Music, on the SXSW Outdoor Stage at Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas.

Don't forget, the best place to stay while attending the festival is a Dry Heat Resorts luxury vacation rental.  To learn about other Coachella Valley Events, click here.

Palm Springs Mini Mid-Century Modern Homes

One of the more popular franchises on HGTV is the “Tiny House” programming block, which has grown to include four different shows all devoted to the notion that living small doesn’t mean you have to make design sacrifices.

Locally, the 1960s-era Palm Canyon Mobile Club has taken this mantra to heart and given it a distinctly Palm Springs spin. Ravinia Communities, which owns multiple mobile home parks across the country, has acquired the community and is planning to add approximately 100 new “micro homes.” These "micro" mobile homes will reflect the famous Mid-Century Modern style Palm Springs is famous for. 

The expression “micro homes” is the result of discussions Ravinia had with Paul Kaplan, CEO and founder of the Paul Kaplan Group. “They came to me to ask if I wanted to represent the sales of new manufactured homes at the Palm Canyon Mobile Club,” says Kaplan. “Because of the desirable location and unique buyer profile we have in Palm Springs, and considering the popularity of tiny homes across the nation, I suggested trying to do something a little different then the traditional mobile home. Although they’ve never done anything like this previously, they were open to thinking outside the box and thought it would be beneficial to provide this unique housing product not currently available in Palm Springs.”
